This collab is braking my brain. I don't know why but my brain had previously decided that Angela was very small and Morgan was tallish.......... This is clearly not the case.
At a guess seeing them together, Morgan is tallish and Angela is Quite Tall? So you might be half right?
Angela has previously said she's 5'10", I believe
Ha! I always thought Angela was shorter too!
@@ZodiacLeopard. She did. I remember because I am very tall and knowing that things look good on her lets me think they will work for me too.
I was so excited when I saw this pop up on my feed. I enjoy the content of both ladies, and just this month, I've started to learn to sew. I'm jealous of Angela's height! I have short corgi legs, a long torso, and am barrel chested 😂
Turned out great! Hilariously in the thumbnail since Angela is wearing a very Morgan outfit, I failed to notice the green hair and assumed it was Morgan v Morgan 😂
Me too!
Same😂
See, I noticed the hair and just thought she filmed pieces at different times or something. 😂
Same 😅
Same, same 😂😂😂
Can we all just appreciate how perfectly Morgan and Angela's dresses match each other's hair? 😍
(And the skills... the result is always stunning!)
as a character design enthusiast this is perfect, I love seeing matchings
I love how Angela is an OG on UA-cam. She was one of the first people I was following on Tumblr, when she was an actual child in her bedroom sewing some awesome shit that she just kind of made up as she went. Her resourcefulness and patience stood out to me, and I didn’t really get into following anyone in historical costume on UA-cam until way later, where I was delighted to recognize her and realize she was so successful in the community!
i know of angela but i don't really know anything about her, ho long ago was that?
@@youruncleolaf4694 8 years? Something like that.
I, too, found Angela long ago! I was so amazed at what this kid was turning out while attending high school! Extremely impressive and she just gets better and better!
Wow, I had no idea she'd been making things online for that long! How impressive :)
I love the side by side comparison of drafting and draping. And how you combined the good from both. This gown is stunning. Love the fun explorations you take us on Morgan.
"What do you want this bodice to look like?"
"Mysteries."
Yes! I want my clothes to look like mysteries!
When I started sewing I thought drafting seemed terribly intimidating while draping looked intuitive. But once I tried them I found drafting felt like a magical spell to make flat things have shape, while draping was more like slippy slidey guess work. Also, bodice and pant blocks just seemed like the way to go for me. I highly recommend it to anyone with nonstandard proportions.
It’s so different to medieval sewing, they had really long straight seams, and this is heaps of small ones, tiny dart here tiny dart there, here a dart there a dart everywhere a dart dart! 😂😂😂😂
I’m getting Anne of green gables vibes from that sweater 😊
Morgan Donner made a dress, E-I-E-I-Sew...
@@Northfan42 😂😂😂 that was so good!! 😂😂😂
"Actually, I have a partlet, one second." Is the kind of casual sentence that really rounds out a Monday.
To be clear, there is no such thing as "the right body" for a historical period. That's what the support garments are there for.
And I think Morgan looks amazing in every period that she's tried.
But Man! Something about the Edwardian shit waist and skirt combo! That's it for me! I love it so much!
Love seeing Angela collabs; she has an immense wealth of sewing knowledge. Also, the finished product and the hair is absolutely beautiful!
The gown looks STUNNING 🤩 The velvet additions are so elegant and stately! Fabulous work! And your up-do is so cute ☺️ I love the way the curly bangs frame your face
I thought the final would be in the white-cream colour range, but then you bring out the classic Morgan Donner red :D. Those velvet roses are gorgeous! That bodice triangle pocket thing is also inventive, glad to see it works!
Gorgeous! You saved that velvet for the perfect project. Have so much fun at the ball!
I like your furry patternweight. Mine's name is Buddy. He's holding my bed down at the moment, hoping I'll join him for a cuddle. And of course I comply.
What a beautiful dress! I'm looking forward to seeing the completed look. This is the kind of dress that calls for some really bold costume jewelry, the type of over the top "dripping with jewels" stuff no one wears anymore. Ah, the ball sounds really fun.
I was looking at the finished results going "I hope she has some Mary of Teck worthy collar necklace shenanigans in her suitcase!"
I know Angela has said before that she’s tall but it’s hard to understand until you see her next to someone else. Which I realize I’ve never seen before. I really love this dress. It’s amazing 🤩 Y’all did an amazing job
Angela! I've missed her, it is so so nice to see her!
That is what i was thinking too. Hi, Angela!
Is it difficult sharing a sewing space where you are used to working alone? Or is having someone working with you so motivational that it evens out?
This is definitely one of my top 4 UA-cam channels alongside Tom Scott, Barry Lewis and Townsends 🥰
Literally my comfort channel, I'll just grab a cuppa and sit back. It brings me joy. I'm so glad you've had so much success with it so far 😊
Side note - the hair at 19:45 is hella cute.
Have you considered Tasting History and Acre Homestead? Since we clearly have the same channels subscribed I hope you don't mind the suggestions.
@@rosacanisalba ooooh I've not heard of them but I will definitely check them out! Thank you :)
I love both draping and drafting equally! For me they serve very different purposes. But draping tends to be a lot faster and you have a lot more control so it’s good for things with seams that need to flatter. But drafting is great for skirts and pants.
I like to do a combination! I will draft the base shape of the silhouette, and draw the seams on the mannequin!
!!!!!!!!! That dress is AMAZING! I'm SO impressed! Can't wait to get to see everyone at the ball! Any chance you could do a tutorial on the roses when you get back? HAVE SO MUCH FUN AT THE BALL!!!!
Absolutely! I will try to add it to Instagram soon
Two of my faves together ❤❤❤😊😊
You have brought back my 1960-70s dressing. Fun!
This dress is beautiful! What an amazing collab! Ive missed Angela's videos, so it was a nice surprise seeing her here.
Only twelve-year-olds have 20-inch waists! 😂
So pretty. The red velvet really ads the Wow factor for me! Thank you..
I was really surprised that Angela is so much taller than Morgan, she just always struck me as dainty in her own videos!!
This was very interesting to see your process and the resulting gown is wonderful. With respect to you both, for me personally, Angela's draping is beyond amazing. Something about her approach creates a very flattering, sumptuous shape and brings out the beauty of the fabrics. She would have been in BIG demand during this time period. I hope she has an equally gifted friend to drape her gowns. Side story .. my mother always told me to choose the hair stylist with the worst hair cut in a salon because they were the gifted ones cutting everyone else's hair. Of course, I expect ALL the ball gowns at the grand event will be works of art and look forward to seeing videos and stills.
Gorgeous!!!!
I've loved seeing you all making your fancy ball dresses while I sew what is turning out to be yet another shapeless grey sack of a dress! :D (it's fine, shapeless grey sack is 100% my preferred outfit)
Morgan and Angela, this is absolutely stunning.
Draping that fast takes an experienced hand. Just mystifies me.
I watch a lot of Gunnar Deatherage's videos and mystify is a great word for it! How on Earth someone can see a fabric, begin pinning it on a mannequin, and it turn out STUNNING... now granted, we don't get to see a lot of the cussing and the thousands of hours of education that went into it, but it is still absolutely magical to watch!
I do beadwork & was very glad you went with the plyers to crunch the excess. I use light weight fire line or regular beading thread, depending on the project, so not cutting the thread with bead crunching can be tricky. I would definitely save a few scraps to cut replacements beads from though. It's so pretty on the garment! Absolutely love the blouses & the bicycle sweater! Your dress turned out fantastic in the end.

WHO WILL WIN?
Answer:
Us, the viewers, we win!
I love Angela clayton, she is the number one sewing people on the internet, she is amazing, I miss her channel so much. She should have her own atelier in Paris, or New York would be wonderful. Hope she is good.
It's Morgan time YYYAAAYYY 🎉🎉🎉
ETA: and Angela?! And Angela YYAAYY!
The dress turned out beautiful! Hope you had fun at the ball!
I’m stoked for this showdown. Good luck to both of you!
I need a sewing buddy tooo😢😢😢 I love this Collab.
Where is Angela? Isn’t she making videos anymore? Miss her
Morgan making a Gunnar reference is the most wildly specific dopamine hit I’ve ever gotten 😭🥰
YES!!! Glad I'm not the only fan of both who caught it! :D
I know it's not about this but it's been a while since I've watched Angela's channel and she's so gorgeous 😍 I love that hair colour on her
Gorgeous gown ❤
I bet watching Angela's incredible talent at work was incredible to see. I'd be trying to soak up every single bit of knowledge she had haha. You're both so cool!
Morgan this is amazing. You look like an absolute princess. I hope you're having/had a great time at the ball and you remembered to pack your gloves. Also, don't think I didn't notice that your lobster tail bustle is red like a lobster tail. 😂
Morgan this was a stunning video, and the dress is very much giving me Scottish glamour vibes for some reason xx :) loved this so much, hope you have an amazing time!! You & Angela nailed the look!
Haven't seen Angela in awhile. Glad to see her in another video. Also interesting to see how they work together.
If I had had a dress form when I was doing all my creating nothing would have stopped me. I find your videos fascinating. I don't get to do much anymore.
ANOTHER COLLAB?? I'm so pleased thank you 😊
Motion to use “Victwardian” as the new official term referring to that weird fashion period from 1880-1910 (late Victorian, early Edwardian)
Motion seconded.
first impression when you first tried the mockups: the drafted one looked more "right" in a way, like it looks like how an article of clothing "should" look (emphasis on the quotation marks) but the draped on looked like it was a part of you, it kinda looks like those touched up photos. I guess the drafted bodice looks more like tailor's work and the draped looks more haute couture (i think it's because it their respective trades prefered method)
edit: i think my most imediate thought was the draped version has it's "soul" already it has that little je-ne-sais-quoi that pulls me into a project that i can't put into words and other people don't really see
Your words make a lot of sense! Thanks for helping me put a finger on what I was seeing. :)
Smashed thumb nail so hard! I love you both!!😂
gorgeous project between you both😃
I miss Angela, I wish her the best life possible. Everytime I'm here I wonder how is she doing :(
I have noticed in similar recent videos the use of the term flat lining. When I learned how to sew 20 years ago what you are doing here was called underlining.
New favorite word: floofery 😊
My fav duo, back at it again! Angela is so freaking witty and clever
The gown is so lovely 😍
It's so good to see you colab with Angela and to such beautiful results.
I hope you have a fantastic time at the ball. ❤
Beautiful! ❤ I love your videos.
The best way to break beads is to insert a push pin into the hole and press against a rubbery surface (ie an eraser). This guards against cutting the thread used to sew to the base fabric.
As a beaded, using pliers was the first method we used, and the push pin/eraser method evolved for tightly woven beads. By far superior results. Info for next time!
If you ever speak to Angela tell her we miss her!
At first I was surprised not to see red fabric but continued to watch and then out came the red fabric! Turned out beautiful! I like red too.😂
Love how Angela's hair matches your dress and your hair matches her... pinafore?
hooray--angela!! the gown is gorgeous--tres worth. :) i'll bet you were happier with the slightly shorter train--people step on ladies' trains at dances all the time, and you have to kick backward while you're dancing so you don't step on it yourself.
Great video, always so inspiring
The moth cardigan that Angela is wearing... *dies
Where is it from???
Angela Clayton is such a darling and talented woman. She makes such dreamy creations.
I love these collaborations with Angela! I'm a long time fan of her channel, I enjoy the comparison of different methods, and it's interesting to hear Morgan's description of Angela's process.
Personally, I am a very chaotic sewer.
I use just about every single method out there in all of my projects- draping, drafting,using pattern websites and using past patterns.
I somehow always manage to make the garment perfectly even though I have no mannequin, no mock-ups, a hate for anything maths and only one year of experience in sewing myself clothes. I like to think I’m just very lucky.
Did you choose your outfits to match each other's hair intentionally?
Flooffery is now my favorite sewing term
"tiny chainsaw"
'tis not the size that matters but how you use it 😂
Hi Morgan, Can I ask if you know if Angela Clayton is ok, she hasnt posted anything for a while, lots of people are asking if she is ok.
My brain when I saw the thumbnail: wow 2 Morgans! Cool editing 😂🤦♀
This was very educational and entertaining! Thank you, ladies, for sharing this comparison/competition
I NEED ANGELA'S DRESS AND BELT. she was such an inspiration all those years ago for the evolution of my style as vintage inspired but also whimsically modern :)
Holy shit, Angela's sweater is killing me
I always forget how tall Angela is
Love this content. Really happy to see Angela Clayton as well. Love the hair on you both. So much talent… god, I love you guys 😍
Omg Angela and Morgan in the same vlog. I'm star struck.
What a stunning gown! As well as a great video I had wondered about the differences between the two
Aaaah I really needed the comfort of one of your vids today! Thank you for taking us on this wonderful journey ❤️
Angela is a legend, an icon and also the moment. This collab is so exciting
I want to have ago at draping so bad but the only manikin I have is not my size :(
this is literally so gorgeous, I'm so flipping impressed!!!
You. Are. So CUTE. Like seriously I was holding my breath on multiple occasions because the faces you make are just so adorable. Also the piercings on your right ear with the test hairdo was perfect.
I really enjoyed seeing Angela !!
Hope you had a wonderful ball.
I hope you are having a fabulous time dancing on your spectacular swishy gown! You look amazing.
One day I will find an excuse to make a historical dress- mark my words!!! But in the mean time, I have a lot of practice for drafting and draping to do because they are not easy
I can't drape to save my life, so my preferred method is drafting, with usually two mockups.
Lovely to see two of my favourite costume UA-camrs doing a collab. AAA+
this is gorgeous and I wish I was able to go to this event and see it in person! Just didn’t lineup with my spring break.
Thank you for putting the Instagram is for everyone and reminding us that we'd be able to see real time pictures there!
Your garment is so beautiful! The dress and that incredible V pocket at the waist was so creative!
It was also really fun to see Angela with you!
I tend to see myself as more a draper, than a drafter. 😊
Fun video!
Somehow, not really sure how??? My brain definitely put Abby Cox in the thumbnail instead of Angela????
Sloper basic bodice? Idk? Maybe a good start for pattern dressmaking. Weird you didn’t start with that..?
I love seeing two of my favourite historical garment creators working together! But may I ask, dear Angela, what happened to your finger?
Okay I love this collab first off, but WHOSE GORGEOUS ADORABLE GREYHOUND IS THAT and can I request that you pls give them pets for me TuT
* sees thumbnail *
“Well, if you’re competing against yourself, you’re gonna win!”
wow, this is actually stunning!! i adore how it turned out, and that triangle bit for the bodice is genius! the fabric choices couldn't have been more perfect :) beautiful job, morgan!!
Did you say volumptuous? LOL That is exactly what they were shooting for in the 1880-1900 era.
This came out SO nice! I love the asymmetry and that beautiful crystal/beaded sheer overlay *_* as always, I am just so impressed with your ability to do anything you set your mind to, even if you haven't done it before or feel it's outside your comfort zone, and do it SO well! I hope you had an incredible time at the ball!
The first zigzag machine was patented in 1873, so it wasn't widely used for most of the Victorian era. Plus, a zig-zag is not as safe against fraying than the blanket stitch used here. The Merrow sewing machine was the first to make blanket stitch, in 1877. Yet, that would not be a machine easily available to housewives, and probably restricted to manufacturers, considering its specific use. I would not be surprised if that kind of machine sewing was frown upon for high-level garments like ball gowns, but that's me speculating.
